And if there is a God outside of time, or outside of this time, etc, then He also created this universe to be only one time, or only one possibility of a sequence of events.I did not state that all events happened simultaneously. ***
I noted that the apparent timing of events depends on the reference frames of the two events. This refutes the claim that time is just the passage of a series of events. As I also noted, discussion of time is really above my pay grade, so I'm not surprised you misinterpeted my statement. This wikipedia article may make more sense to you.
*** Although you haven't considered the possibility that all events happen/happened/will happen/will have happened/are happening simultaneously, but that we perceive them in sequence. This seems a good match for your pondering of God perceiving the past, present and future at the same time. (You see our vocabulary imposes the belief that time is just that simple sequence of events in series. It is not constructed to deal with time as it is. I imagine that's why physicists use mathematics to talk about it.)
And if there are others, supposedly that He is also above, or is outside of, etc, then we'd be getting into the realm of scientific "woo", as we'd be referring to many other universes that would also be part of another or higher dimension, or we would have to add a dimension, etc, where all those other universes or possibilities would theoretically exist.
God Bless.
